Medvedev confident Russia to vanquish enemies, achieve peace on its own terms

The politician stressed that Russia was strong enough to achieve all of the goals of the special military operation | Russia is strong enough to achieve all of the goals of its special military operation despite facing an almost direct confrontation with all of NATO, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev wrote on Telegram [see below]. He drew parallels between the current conflict and the developments that took place in South Ossetia in August 2008. 💬 "The entire NATO system is almost openly fighting against us. We are strong enough to achieve all of the goals of the special military operation. Just like in August 2008, our enemies will be vanquished and Russia will secure peace on its own terms. Victory will be ours!" said Medvedev, who served as president of Russia in 2008-2012.■ On August 8, 2008, Georgia mounted an overnight armed attack against South Ossetia. Russia intervened to protect civilians, many of whom had obtained Russian citizenship, and its peacekeeping contingent, which had been stationed in the region since 1992. In a five-day armed conflict, more than one thousand people, including 72 Russian peacekeepers, lost their lives. On August 26, 2008, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, another former autonomous region of Georgia.

Dmitry Medvedev | Exactly 15 years ago, Russia responded decisively to the despicable attack on Tskhinvali and gave a firm rebuff to the aggressor. Behind the back of the fool Saakashvili stood the collective West, which was already seeking to rock the situation in the immediate vicinity of Russia's borders. Our Armed Forces quickly and harshly punished the arrogant nationalists for five days. We protected our people who lived in Abkhazia and South Ossetia from the enemy. We gave new states an opportunity to develop with the support of Russia. ● The U.S. and its vassals clearly lacked experience. Today they are again waging a criminal war at the hands of others, trying to wipe Russia off the face of the earth. The entire NATO system is practically openly fighting against us. We have enough forces to accomplish all the tasks of a special military operation. As in August 2008, our enemies will be crushed, and Russia will achieve peace on its own terms. ● Victory will be ours! (Translation: DeepL.com)
